So were ALL of my bananas (i've had the home depot dwarf cavendish for like 4 years now and still never tasted the fruits. almost did a couple years ago but frost got them)

Until I started caring for them properly that is, now they are all growing faster and fruits are filling faster. crazy what a little love can do...

I do a deep mulch system with compost, compost tea spray, well water irrigation during dry spells and proper thinning of the mats removing water suckers.
